Alternate Spider-Man characters and “Spider-Verse”

A Surprising Number of Spider-Meetings

Spin a web, any size, and join us as our Comic Book Club discusses the comics from 2014 that inspired “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and, more generally, the concept of alternate versions of Spider-Man.
